Three weeks ago, you were asked to find an online article that deals with careers and tips for success. I have chosen six articles of the twelve that have been submitted on your blogs.
The links to these articles are below (along with the students’ name that selected them):
http://humanresources.about.com/od/careersuccess/Career_Success.htm (TIFFANY)
http://www.quintcareers.com/dress_for_success.html (Matt)
http://careertipsblog.com/ (Jen)
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25351333/ (Jenna)
http://www.quintcareers.com/career_planning_tips.html (Cecilia)
http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/career-articles-8_mistakes_to_avoid_in_your_first_quot_real_quot_job-1255 (Paul)

Directions:
1. Skim through the titles of all SIX articles.
2. Decide what TWO articles you are going to read (You MAY NOT CHOOSE AN ARTICLE THAT YOU ORIGINALLY PICKED)
3. Read TWO articles and summarize them on your blog page.
4. Choose one fact from each of the articles that you agree with, state them, and explain why you believe in it.
5. Lastly, visit each of your classmate’s blog pages and give an “end of the year” wish (like a yearbook signing…keep it clean!).

Do you want to quit?

Please read the following article and answer the questions:
http://www.nowhiring.com/job-articles/quitting-your-job.aspx

1a. Talk about a time when you quit a job. If you have never quit a job, please move onto question 1d.
1b. Did you follow the advice from the article? What advice from the article will you take with you.
1c. How did you handle the confrontation?
1d. (0nly answer if you have never quit a job before) Name two pieces of advice that you will carry with you as you progress in your career.

2. Choose one fact from the article that you agree with, state it, and explain why you believe in it.

3. Now, find an online article that deals with careers and tips for success. (Which ever article I select for this class to study will receive 5 points extra credit.) Paste the link to the article and explain why you chose to highlight this article.
